Man City deserved to win

[King for a Day...]

apparently...

I just watched MOTD and the ONLY 3 proper chances they had came from:
a handball (Dzeko when Mignolet saved)
a foul (on Sessegnon, not given, Aguero shot and saved again by Mignolet)
offside (Richards header into the bar)

apart from that they had a few half-arsed shots from outside the penalty box.

A lot of possession, but no end product.

Whereas we had 2 great chances created by some very good play (Sess both times)

What gets me is that the pundits can see the same video replays, they can even say that we deserved to win it because of our defending, yet they can't seem to go that extra step and point these things out.

it's baffling.

also, Larsson get's his yellow card for holding Aguero, but it's quite obvious on the replay that Aguero had his arm around Seb's neck at first, yet the commentator says "yep, he definitely held him there" no mention that he was fouled first and that's why he is so obviously pissed off with the decision.

ah well, what a great day though eh?

they didnt deserve to win because they couldnt score

Every bit of coverage I've seen has given us great credit for a stoic defensive display and team effort and deserved the win for that but also acknowledging that City dominated large parts of the game. Hartson praised us to the hilt on MOTD2, Savage praised us on 606, Martin Tyler nearly exploded with excitement when scored the winner.

What more do we want? Sometimes our support will find despair in the most joyous of occasions. Very scouse like

I don't think you understand what I was trying to say.

They said we were superb defensively, but I just thought it was a pretty obvious point to be made that all of City's chances came from extremely debatable decisions. I don't give a shit whether we get wanked off over on the BBC, I'm merely pointing out how crap they are at their jobs.

the records will show: sunderland 1- man city 0 with nothing about who had most of the ball or the best chances etc etc.
i would not give a flying fart if those were the only 4 passes we managed all game, the ball ended in the net, game over!!!
